[BackupPC-users] Backuppc Exclude trouble
Trying to exclude opened files ~*.*, ntuser.dat.log, etc, but having trouble. Tried several different suggestions, all turn out to do nothing. I am not using excludes and includes simultaneously. See below for my exclude lines: Share * /Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings /Documents and Settings/*/UsrClass.dat /Documents and Settings/*/UsrClass.dat.LOG /Documents and Settings/*/NTUSER.DAT /Documents and Settings/*/ntuser.dat.LOG /Documents and Settings/*/Recent */Cache */parent.lock Thumbs.db IconCache.db /RECYCLER */Temporary Internet Files /System Volume Information /pagefile.sys /hiberfil.sys *.pst ~* There were several variations like ? in spaces, tried backslashes, wildcard placement ~* or ~*.*.

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC_link got error -4 when calling MakeFileLink

Can anyone give any suggestions on the resolution? Also, lately a backup has taken 4 days to complete full (many many subdirs in folder it is backing up, but incremental takes 20 mins, also it is around 70Gigs total). If you installed from the sourceforge tarball you should be able to specify where you want the archive. If you used a .deb/.rpm packaged version, /data/backuppc doesn't sound like the right place. Try making one of the links that are failing in the logs manually as the backuppc user - you may get a better error message. As for timing - fulls do a complete read on the data on the target side for a block checksum comparison. Incrementals skip anything where the previous full has the same timestamp and file length. Our BackupPC was installed via source. I tried to mkdir /data/BackupPC/pc/test and got permission denied. The full backup that is taking 4 days to complete is only 69Gigs/230k files, using tar, and the systems do not seem to be working very hard.

Sorry a quick clarification, BackupPC is being run as daemon, so I was wrong about the permissions. As well, I was able to confirm that the source install is using configure.pl:--data-dir /data/BackupPC although config files sit in /etc/BackupPC/. +-- |This was sent by jdur...@hrsg.ca via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- Everyone hates slow websites.
